traveling to Georgia to find some fold for themselves. Cherokee rights were also decreasing. They were no longer allowed to have businesses; they couldn't testify against the white in court, and they were prohibited to mind for the gold. Majjor Ridge and his family had decided that enough was enough and that they should just retreat from the area. John Ross on the other hand had decided that the Indians should continue to fight for the land because they were there first. Tragically for the Indians

The death and burials of the Cherokee along the Trail of Tears, will determine if the forced relocation can be considered an act of genocide. However, determining the number of how many people lost their lives on the Trail of Tears is difficult to calculate. An exact death toll of the round-up alone cannot be verified by historians. Most modern historians and other professionals agree on the number 4,000 deaths or one-fourth of the Cherokee Nation (Thornton, 1984). 4,000 deaths, is an estimate determined

Thornton, Russell “Cherokee Population Losses During Trail of Tears: A New Perspective and a New Estimate.” Ethnohistory, Vol. 31, No. 4 (Autumn, 1984): 289-300 Currently, when the losses suffered by the Cherokee Nation as a result of their forced removal are discussed, there is a focus on the loss in numbers. However, Russell Thornton’s “Cherokee Population Losses During Trail of Tears: A New Perspective and a New Estimate” clearly presents a new, suitably researched perspective that argues the

Trusting, amicable, and helpful outcomes in life are not always expected, but almost always exceeded. This relates much with the storyline of this saddening era in our history - which can be represented with segments from this story. The Trail of Tears refers to the forceful relocation and eventual movement of the Native American ancestral communities, from the South Eastern regions of the U.S, as a result of the enactment of the Indian Removal Act in the year 1830. In the year 1838, in line with

The seafloor spreading in Iceland all occurs on the mid-Atlantic ridge. Iceland emerged as a result of the divergent spreading and the boundary between the two tectonic plates and the activity of Iceland’s own hotspot or mantle flume. Movement of these plates caused earthquakes and volcanism. This allowed Iceland to be the largest portion of the mid- ocean ridge system that is above sea level. The beginning of the start of sea floor spreading in Iceland occurred about sixty million years ago when

the sacrificial battle of Vimy Ridge. Vimy Ridge was proven to be essential to the foundation of Canada as it signified the birth of a new nation and it was considered to be the greatest battle fought, in World War One. Firstly, the Battle of Vimy Ridge established Canada’s emergence as a newly born nation from under the shadow of Britain and gave a verification of Canada’s prominence on the international level. For instance, after successfully regaining the ridge, it displayed to the British superpower

presents the first comprehensive review of all reported extinct ridges and investigates their characteristics and regional distribution and frequency of occurrence over the last ~170 Myr as recorded in present-day preserved oceanic crust. The axial morphology, gravity signal and crustal structure of extinct ridges are evaluated by generating across-axis profiles through global datasets (IHO - IOC 2014; Sandwell et al. 2014) for individual ridge segments. Information on the spreading-rates, time of cessation

Without the plate boundary feature, you would still see the change in depth where the mountains are, still feel earthquakes, and see volcanic eruptions. Adapted from an activity by Laurel Goodell February 2013 Mid-Atlantic Ridge F.

At 37.9337° N, 78.9529° W elevation 3200 feet or mile 10.8 on the Blue Ridge Parkway lies one of the most spectacularly beautiful overlooks in the area. Looking to the right Ravens Roost overlooks the Shenandoah Valley, the most distinguishable areas being Stuarts Draft. To the left the you can see the George Washington National Forest, and Torrey Ridge in the distance. Ravens Roost holds a significant place in my heart, soul, and brain and continues to amaze me with its beauty time after time.

“The battle for Canadian liberty and autonomy is being fought today on the plains of France and Belgium,” Borden said while introducing conscription. (Cook, 2011 3 ed., Vol. 13, p.13) At the beginning of the twentieth century, many Canadians were still adjusting to its new ways and ideas. Then the Greatest War the world had ever seen transformed the map of Europe and changed the nations, and the people, who fought in it forever. In Canada, for example, during the war the government faced great challenges
